Larger boat discussion

Randleman, I don't know what you're looking to spend, or what they cost for that matter, but Dusky sells factory direct and will custom build your boat with the options you want, and nothing you don't want. You can even change the lay up schedule. Probably will cost more, but you would get exactly what you want.

That would be ideal, but I doubt I could afford a new boat. Although I havent set a firm budget, I am thinking I should be able to get something pretty good for around $20-25K.

I know the prices are always much lower in the winter time, just looking now so I know if a deal comes along then.

I keep seeing that blue contender on craigslist. With the euro transom and the big console in the middle of the deck I think you'll find your V20 has a lot more room for fishing. Ever thought about a Wellcraft 248 Offshore?

That boat does look a little cramped in the back but has the flat floor to the bow, I would definately spend some time on one before buying. A guy who is at the campground in the Keys every time I am there has a Avanti 25....it would be perfect. But they are not for sale in my price range even used. I think they are the old Contenter 25 hull, before they started the eurotransom thing.

I have searched for Wellcraft CC's, havent seen many, mostly V-20's.
 
I will do some searching on Sailfish, I have seen them around here.

Those Sea Hunt's look nice in pictures.

Searched for Hydrasports, they are all 20' or 33 ' it seems.
 
I work on a lot of Sea Hunts and they are pretty nice boats, I wouldn't say they are up with Regulator, but I'd rate them above 70% of the boat brands I work on.
 
I want a 30' Americat Pilothouse. Or a Freeman 33 Pilot or a 29 Everglades Pilot or a V-20 Pilot?? Pilot overload... When I retire I am moving up North where everything is better.

You can drive slow in the left lane and tell them all how we do it down south while talkin' in a funny accent.

Be sure to ask for sweet tea.



I like that second Seahunt the best Randleman. Neighbors behind my wife's parents have one. That one is nice being garage kept. Plus the guy has a huge storage building and is obviously into his stuff. Probably has taken good care of her. I like it a lot more than that Proline. The lines look better, deeper deadrise, would prefer the Yammie it has, although I know you like the Suzuki's.

Hey!! We like sweet tea up north also... :beer:

And no, not everything is better up north... ok, we have better paying jobs, our wimmins is prettier, we don't get as many hurricanes and tornados, no fire ants, gators, our grass is actually soft on the feet, and we can go outside on a hot summer day. But we pay more in taxes, our homes cost more, and we have to put up with ppl from down south driving slow in the left lane and trying to tell us how much better it is south of the Mason-Dixon line. :you::butt::hide:

At least we know how to make a left hand turn down south, or drive in just one lane. I JUST left Jersey, and peoples ability to not turn left(when they actually are able to) shocked me to say the least. Or the number of women driving in 2 lanes at the same time while gabbing on there cell phones had my blood pressure so high I think a vein popped out of my forehead.
 
:you: Youse guys crack me up. Sweet Tea. I'm just bustin some northern compadres cajones. Bored, I was.. Besides I can't move north, I would freeze to death, noone wants that. LOL!

Back to the subject.. Pilothouse Please. Parker makes a clean looking boat but the $$ again..
 
I have always liked the Parker 25 Sport Cabin...saw a "Southwester" as they were once called, in the early 80's, I couldnt beleive how big the cockpit was.

They are lots of $$.

X2 Parker Pilothouse is my number one favorite looking rig. Rode in one a while back. Calm seas, so can't say how well it did or didn't handle in the snot, but absolutely a wonderfully made boat. If anyone wants to give one to me I'll take it in a heartbeat.


And Ferm, I couldn't agree with you more about wimmin gabbin or texting on the phone while they are driving. Complete a-holes they are. And yes, you turn left by making a right turn... with the number of vehicles on our roads, it's really the only safe way. But I agree it takes some getting used to.

NJ has more vehicles per sq mile than any other state in the union, so with the number of vehicles on our roads, jug handles and cloverleafs are really the only safe way. But I agree it takes some getting used to.
